“Surely liked the Hotel more than cold and windy Blackpool at the time of our stay.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 September 2010

We have recently stayed in The Mackintosh as a result of 'overbooking?' in initial hotel we were to stay in. Room was small to be a twin but clean, great power shower, tea coffee making facilities tv with freeview. Time for Breakfast and Dinner is set so have to get there on time if don't want to miss it. When asked about Internet access we were told there is none (although after our return home read on their webside there is free wi-fi in the hotel). Came with the car which was parked on the street nearby as we were informed that there is a private car park available in the back yard (also read about it on their website).
Hoovers are left in the corridors/landings for whatever reason so careful not to trip.
I have been working in hotels for few years now so I am aware of work involved in running such establishment. I think Lady does a brilliant job as did serve Breakfast, Dinner and cleaned and it can be hard work to multitask.
Surely liked the Hotel more than cold and windy Blackpool at the time of our stay.

“Lovely Place, Lovely People!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 February 2009

We have stayed here twice, Oct 2006 and Oct 2007. We just go for a long weekend and I can honestly say this B&B is lovely, the owners are so welcoming and the rooms are lovely and clean, the full english breakfast is superb and nothing is to much trouble. Parking is secure in their back yard but sometimes at breakfast they may ask you to move your car to let someone out who may be leaving before you, they are organised and there is no rush to move your car. I was constantly telling my 2 kids who one the 1st time there were 3 and 9, to be quiet but Pat the owner would tell me off for telling them off, they are extremely welcoming of kids. The room we had was spacious with an en suite and more than enough space for what we needed.
The only down side is that Gynn Avenue is approx 2.9miles to the pleasure beach so trams are highly recommended, we have walked it and its a long way, but at least there is no rowdiness and the street is very nice.
Overall, i would recommend this B&B to anyone wanting a peaceful, relaxing break in nice quiet surroundings.
